Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Bouzoukia on the Hill, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We want to emphasize that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction to participate in online gambling. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to access gambling services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money intended for essentials (rent, bills, food)
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount you are willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for an extended period

We encourage you to use these tools to maintain a healthy relationship with online gambling.
